  1. Just cant see us getting 20M for someone who is 6 months away from signing a pre-contract and will not immediately start for any big club.
  2. He seems so fragile. Every time he goes down you fear an injury based on his reaction. Was it the same at Leverkusen?
  3. I am less optimistic now than a few weeks back. Feel other clubs have caught up to us in terms of signings. Think we'll be right around 10th. Maybe 1 or 2 spots higher or lower.
  4. Shame he will be leaving, and potentially on a free. This has been festering for over a year, so it's not like Villa left this until the last minute. We tried to extend the agreement over 2 years before the termination date. Can't do anything if a player and his representatives are hell bent on running down their contract.
  5. That's pretty much on the coaching staff, no? I just feel the midfield needs a bit of a refresh to make it "click". Wouldn't mind seeing one of McGinn or Luiz leave and someone else of a similar or slightly higher quality come in.
  6. Not sure how realistic it is but would love to get Paqueta from Lyon. Maybe with Sanson going on loan to them as a sweetener. Edit: rumored with Arsenal and Newcastle, so we certainly could compete for his signing.
  7. If he is better than Target, I am happy. That should be the litmus test for any signing - he is better than the guy he is replacing.
  8. Anyone else feel his positioning was totally off against Walsall? Had a few good forays forward but was a mess in defense.
  9. Not sure why anyone would listen to the football analysis of the likes of Preece or Evans. They are simply writers and not analysts and certainly not ITK. There are so many Villa vloggers and podcasters that understand the game and analyze them far better than those two.
  10. Thought Kesler was great going forward but all over the place tracking back. Probably needs another year on loan, thus would be good to keep Guilbert as the backup RB.
  11. He was very active, maybe that impressed some. But did not really show any cutting edge that would put him ahead of our established players.
  12. was very active but did not offer anything special for me. You can easily see that players like Buendia are miles ahead of him.
  13. Been a big critic of his, but if he shows the energy he did today - on top of his crazy skills, then he definitely has something to offer our squad.
  14. So no JPB and Guilbert of the players that were in training this week
  15. Agree. Seems so fragile. Every time he goes down it feels as though it could be a long-term injury.
  16. Azaz impressed. Good energy from Bailey and Traore. Archer is a natural. Carlos seems very comfortable on the ball. Only real minus was Mings' composure and distribution.
  17. Something like this could have worked for a secondary logo
  18. You're looking at this in isolation. Our squad is better than many that finished ahead of us. Sure you can always say the table does not lie....but would you trade our squad last year for Brentford, Crystal Palace, Newcastle, and Brighton? I wouldn't!
  19. Somewhere along the line we will have to punch above our weight. A good start would be playing to our potential, as certainly on paper we are better than 14th!
  20. Did not see him in today's training video. Maybe he was given a few extra days as the EFL Playoff was a week after the end of the PL season.
  21. Always gave a 100% - except for that silly dive. His goals kept us in the PL.
